Reflections for Police Officer Ronald A. Leisure
Feel His presence as God answers the prayers of many who have fallen to their knees on your behalf. Since the day of my son's death, I have carried every law enforcement officer and their family in my heart.
Every morning I go to my knees. During that time I pray:
“Lord, Be with all law enforcement officers. Keep them safe and free from harm. They are your soldiers on the front line of the battle against evil. If one should fall this day - wrap their family in your loving arms. Surround them with Your angels, family and loving, caring people to comfort them. Ease their pain. Help them to mourn well. In Jesus' name, Amen”
I have lifted you and your family to God every morning for the past three years. Feel those prayers. God is with you; He knows and will ease your pain.
Our faith helps us see beyond the grave.

Brother Leisure rest in peace my brother. My only wish is that I wish you could have retired earlier to enjoy your family and friends. You look like you enjoyed your work and I was thinking of how you still had so much to offer as a volunteer to the patients. Rest in peace and your good deeds and hard work especially to your serviuce to this country shall never ever be forgotten.
